Israeli soldier sorry for not shooting Arab

[Resistance]

By Khalid Amayreh | Aljazeera

An Israeli soldier who three days ago mistakenly shot and seriously wounded a Jewish demonstrator in the northern West Bank has told interrogators that he thought he was shooting a Palestinian, not a Jew.

“I am sorry, I never thought I was shooting at Jews, I would never shoot a Jew,” the soldier reportedly said.

The Israeli victim, Gil Nima’ati, was protesting the construction of the so-called separation wall near the northern West Bank village of Mis-ha north of north west of Nablus, along with hundreds of Palestinians and international peace activists.

The soldier who pulled the trigger - his identity has not been released - reportedly said he could not recognise the identity of the demonstrators, who were protesting the construction of the “separation wall” in the northern West Bank.

“ I thought the protesters were all Palestinians and non-Jews.”

1. Would Rachel Corrie and Tom Hurndall's life have been spared?

Had they been Jewish? Everyone else appears to be fair game.
